    Changes 2.7.1:
    This is a bugfix release.

    Bug fixes:

    * Fixed a bug in the new ECC code. The ecc_j_to_a function
      called GMP:s mpn_mul_n (via ecc_modp_mul) with overlapping
      input and output arguments, which is not supported.

    * The assembly files for SHA1, SHA256 and AES depend on ARMv6
      instructions, breaking nettle-2.7 for pre-v6 ARM processors.
      The configure script now enables those assembly files only
      when building for ARMv6 or later.

    * Use a more portable C expression for rotations. The
      previous version used the following "standard" expression
      for 32-bit rotation:

        (x << n) | (x >> (32 - n))

      But this gives undefined behavior (according to the C
      specification) for n = 0. The rotate expression is replaced
      by the more portable:

        (x << n) | (x >> ((-n)&31))

      This change affects only CAST128, which uses non-constant
      rotation counts. Unfortunately, the new expression is poorly
      optimized by released versions of gcc, making CAST128 a bit
      slower. This is being fixed by the gcc hackers, see
      http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57157.

    The following problems have been reported, but are *not* fixed
    in this release:

    * ARM assembly files use instruction syntax which is not
      supported by all assemblers. Workaround: Use a current
      version of GNU as, or configure with --disable-assembler.

    * Configuring with --disable-static doesn't work on windows.

    The libraries are intended to be binary compatible with
    nettle-2.2 and later. The shared library names are
    libnettle.so.4.7 and libhogweed.so.2.5, with sonames still
    libnettle.so.4 and libhogweed.so.2.
